Introductory Education is implemented for 1st year to 3rd year students, and is “matrix-type fundamental education”, with Introductory Education as the horizontal axis across departments in each year group, and specialist education forming the vertical axis for each department at Ube National College of Technology. This paper reports on the process of establishing this Introductory Education program, the content of the program, and the effects of implementation of Introductory Education. Over 80% of 3rd year students replied, “I was interested” for sessions directly related to employment, such as “Information about places of employment” and “Writing a CV”. Compared to 2010, the year Introductory Education started, more 1st year students replied, “I was interested” in 2013, which was the 4th year of the program, suggesting that positive results were obtained from the enrichment of the Introductory Education program. In program-specific questionnaire results on Introductory Education, approximately 70% of students replied, “I was interested” for the career design education sessions, proving that interest was high in all years.
